Teijin and Teijin Frontier, the Teijin Group's fibre-product converting company, will participate in Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles, Asia’s largest home textile trade fair, which will take place at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre in Shanghai from 27-29 August.
The group will present solutions for enhanced quality and comfort in the home through high-performance, environmentally friendly materials used in bedding products, including mattresses, comforters and pillows.
Teijin will showcase mattresses made with elk, a lightweight, durable, cushiony and breathable polyester material that is said to make an excellent substitute for urethane in a range of cushioning applications. According to Teijin, it is also environmentally friendly because it does not generate cyanogen gas when incinerated.
Among other group’s exhibits will be comforters and pillows made with Solotex, a polytrimethylene terephthalate fibre that is said to be highly soft, stretching, shape-retaining and resilient. As it is partially bio-derived, Solotex helps to conserve fossil resources.
Teijin will also showcase high-performance polyester batting materials that offer tick-proof, antibacterial, antibromic, sweat-absorbent and heat-retentive properties.
Teijin is a technology-driven global group offering advanced solutions in the areas of sustainable transportation, information and electronics, safety and protection, environment and energy, and healthcare.
Its main fields of operation are high-performance fibres such as aramid, carbon fibres & composites, healthcare, films, resin & plastic processing, polyester fibres, products converting and IT. The group has some 150 companies in 20 countries worldwide.
